A study – and fellowship method for a visual learner

How was I created? Uniquely, woven together in my mother’s womb!

You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 138:13

Created to be a part of God’s diverse and massive kingdom, to serve and to be with Him. We are not duplicated and mixed-up, but created with a strong sense of purpose. A purposeful life is what so many are looking for, yet some think purpose is found outside of God. To serve God is the very beginning of our purpose!

How do I fellowship with God? I think the Holy Spirit, sometimes, got bored with my way of fellowship. The Holy Spirit just loves uniqueness and creativity! Sometimes I am a bit amazed at how thriving my daughter’s relationship with Him is and when we’re having weekly journaling catchup I picked up some interesting pointers :

Honestly
Trust
Curiosity
Originality
Keeping it simple
Obedience!
Recording Holy Spirit’s prompts
Value His insets

We all have our own learning style and it even impacts our fellowship with the Lord.By the way, my daughter is an auditory learner.

The characteristics of a visual learner

Rely mostly on visual images to gain insight and understanding

A visual learner likes to read about topics and create images, charts, pictures, and graphics with this information.

We love making lists!

A visual learner loves to find his or her way through topics and create sections under sub-headings. It’s all about finding direction.

Prefers drawing, doodling, word pictures, using paint, or other methods of coloring

Visual learners love to create and invent new ideas

Pictures can talk to us! Visual learners can find a whole lot of valuable information from a single picture!

When working on a topic or new idea, they first grab a pen and paper to download all images onto paper, and then the inferencing and sorting of information starts.

Tips for visual learners to optimize their fellowship with God

1.Try out a visual bible study

If this is new to you it’s best to start with doodling words from scripture, specifically words that strike you in a verse. Later on, you can continue with a line of scripture and eventually a whole passage. When it comes to doodling through a passage, you will experience that some research is needed to understand the context more.

2.Try out a topical word study

I started topical studies when the Holy Spirit dropped some words into my spirit. I took advantage of a topical study for the first time really when I was urged to prepare.

3.How journaling can ignite your prayer altar

Visually oriented believers ought to be drawn automatically to journaling, I was! With journaling, there are unlimited activities to explore in the Word of God!
